I heard that Sylvester Stallone wrote The Expendables with The Alex in mind. He had to keep it realistic though and split The Alex's abilities into multiple characters. Stallone thought that critics would pan it for being too far-fetched if he just had one character effing everyone up.

Yeah it sure was awesome celebrating that world series when I was 6 months old...

Okay, you made the playoffs a hell of a lot more than the Tigers did. Sure this is their second consecutive LCS, but it's not so big of a deal as if they're the Yankees or Cardinals. THEY DESERVE IT DAMMIT, THIS ISN'T STATUS QUO.

After that, I'm done caring about sports on anything more than a casual level. It's pointless to vicariously live through a bunch of millionaires who don't know I exist, continually let me down, and get paid money to perform a children's game. If it's not the Titans come up a yard short in the Super Bowl, it's the Caps blowing a playoff series or the Nats struggling to find the strike zone for just one pitch. This is nothing more than a waste of time and money. Seriously, I'm done giving a **** about all of this. It's pointless. What do I get in return? Disappointment and sorrow? Screw that. If I spent half the time I spent on sports on my career, I would be making decent money by now. I'll still chit chat about NFL stuff, but I'm done seriously caring about this gigantic blackhole of resources.
